Description
To Miss with Love by Katharine Birbalsingh is a remarkable and eye-opening exposé of the education system. A third of teachers leave within their first term on the job, but one teacher refused to quit. This book chronicles the extraordinary chaos and mismanagement that plague our education system, revealing the struggles of a dedicated teacher in an inner-city school. The author's diary recounts a year of shocking truths, hard-won victories, and heartbreaking moments, from fights and phone thefts to teenage pregnancies and the dreaded OFSTED report. This is a funny, surprising, and sometimes heartbreaking journey that shines a light on the frontlines of modern Britain's education system. A thought-provoking and inspiring read, To Miss with Love is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to re-think the state of education in the UK.
